Guild Wars 2

Now only if pugs could read forums :/

wat, i dont even? which path has this misterious bridge of doom and gloom that challenge even the most tankiest of the PHIW builds?

What? now? wasnt it supposed to be in september?

I do that.
I join, i see a <low lvl, staff guard, gs mes, bearbow…> i leave. Ppl do that on my runs too. Nothing to do sellers.
And selling is legal, it does not break your game experience. I would buy if i was not poor.

I request captain obvious assistance!

I use that spot
I can see.

Up. we NEEED this.

Thief: ok got this device, not combat, waiting for ss to cd.
Traffa: Oh wait i bought you something

+1. this video MUST come to life.

Have you experienced creating your own group with your own rules? how much time did it took to complete? did you have fun? did you party members have fun?

Master your Eng and craft a Quip. Everybody loves a Quip spam.

Besides the fact this thread is a troll one. What are the most used sentences of PUGs at the start of AC? Here we go, maybe you’ll have some more to add:

- “Stack doesn’t work anymore, it’s fixed.”
- “You can’t stack without having an ele.”
- “Do it the normal way.” (Our reply: “Yes, that’s why we stack here.”)
- “Poison is op.”
- “random insult. You guys are noobs. L2p!”

Truth,
The saddest part is that i also get this while running with 3 eles (me being the 3rd) :/
Edit: – LFG “80 exp, SPEED RUN” > does not stack at spider ¬¬

I don’t hold cut scenes, cause some cut scenes take longer than killing a boss, so its their luck/pc processing to decide. If they have been helpful(dps/speed wise) i ask to switch @ 20% boss health. Now if they have been a burden, i kick.

Thanks for this video, i needed that

winterchillz.2564:

If I only had 1g for all the 5k+ “dungeoneers” that I had to tell what to do with my modest ~4k AP…

On the otherhand… nothing like having a 700ap bearbow telling you how to run COF P1, when ur having as measly 10k ap, brightens your day

EU or NA?
Eu seems to have lots of problems on pugs.
Here in NA I have been lucky, still a Russian roulette, but not lacking of surprises.
Arah p2, skips quite smooth, boss downing ok, Lupi… they decided to range… Oo took a while but we did, no wipe, still full of surprises.

Slither Shade.4782:

… must maintain composure through 600ap players asking if you have done this before

yesterday, a 700 ap BEARBOW, dishing out orders at COF P1, while everyone was 3k+ ¬¬

man, that was difficult to swallow, at least they let me do gate.
Sorry for off-topic.

I also pug since beta, due to time constraints.
My experience is less negative but not lacking of surprises (3 staff guard @ fractal 50, 3 eles no fg and so on).
I just adopted a more “relaxed” posture with eazy dungeons and quit on 3rd wipe.
Also my gratitude to our fellow meta game researchers for your time and dedication on creating guides.
And thanks Lilith for “FashionWars” contests, so now my norn girls can wear pretty thing without feeling ashamed for being “big-boned”.

Here take all my remaining 1000 internet points.

lordhidetora.3189:

I can’t believe this is an issue, lol.

Why would anyone pick a ranger if they don’t want to use a bow?

[snip]

I melee with my ranger.
I like it more than all my other 8 melee characters. Once you master the 1handed sword you attack and dodge at same time, its beautiful.
Fashion Meta > Meta > PHIW.

Longbow…
Well i have one for Cart in SE p3 and for pvp. outside that, mah brotha, your 1handed sword would help a lot more.

This weekend i go a fractal torch skin…torch….torch….
Meanwhile got a assassins weapons chest on pvp…
so i guess i will be pvping more now so i can pve more….

Nothing is safe.
Create a party or join super elitist parties, at least they kick your at entrance not in the middle.
I wish this post your would become sticky.

“3) The primary ranger DPS weapon is 1h so they did not benefit from the extra sigil on 2h, unlike classes like the guardian (hammer/GS), warrior (greatsword), ele (staff), and engineer (rifle).”
If you walk with warhorn(buff might) or torch(Firefield) or axe (reflect) off hand and put a sigil on it… dont you have the same effect? Oo
Now, without over analysing, i could even agree, IF everyone was running around in meta, but, since i only pug, a meta ranger is still a better asset than any PHIW out there.

- Get Knight/Valkyre gear
- Do all story modes.
- Create your own LFG with (Px, learning to melee stuff, 80 all welcome)
- Repeat until your start noticing you have this huge hp pool that is never touched because now your dodge like a boss.
- Switch to Berzerker´s and Meta builds
- start melting bosses > getting rich.
- be welcomed in the special club of the “Elitist jerks” who run this joint (we receive cookies everyday in the mail.).
profit.

bretfrag.5607:

I’m struggling to think of any in Fractals, though.

Mossman Axe
BloodHunger
Harpies Knockdown
Raving Asura gun
Harpy Elemental
…
Case closed. bingo.

FenrirSlakt.3692:

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

How would you phrase the LFG for this?

“LFG P1, will not use wall of reflection”

P1|No WoR|Zerk|XP|I PHIW

I would join with Guard with Shield only

Rym.1469:

Guardian? Nah, first pick “to go” is always a Ranger or Necromancer, regardless how they perform.

The irony is that a ranger can bring reflect (axe 5) :x

To OP: which encounter did you got kicked for not bringing wall? When i guard i never got kicked in encounters that don’t need wall(but then i make super hyper elitist lfg descriptions). While i do belive pugs sometimes overreact i would like a lil more information to make a conclusion. thanks.

Aw, boring…ok

so no more reflect… whats the deal now?

Cavendish.2168:

I dont mind if someone is using tanky gear or not using a max dps build, but it kinda bothers me when people run pvp builds in dungeons; like triple meditation guardians, 3 spirit rangers, PU torch wielding or shatter mesmers with no reflects, shadow arts theives.

Oh the classic 10k+ AP pvp player who “humbly” device to partake in jolly cooperation with us “pve noobs”, yet dying here and there with abismal dps

So… “PHIW” ended up being more traumatic to new players than stacking/buffsharing/meta.. yes interesting. I think you should’ve kicked him earlier.

+1, Stick Material, worth 1000 internet points.

The “problem”(and i don’t see any problem on it actually) is…
You do your first run in your “IPHIW” build-> cool
Play again for “dem l00tz” -> ok
Play again with other class -> fun
Play with all 8 classes -> L2Dodge.
Then u finish in 5min what you wouldve taken 20mins…now the problem is that u can’t go back, you HAVE, U FEEL, U CRAVE, for efficiency and speed.
Thus, you accept our beloved META as your personal saviour and convert to the “elitist jerk” religion and be happy… and rich

fractal lvl 50, 3 guards, 3 staffs @ mossman, 1 wall. whataaaaaa?

Forget hoggs. Tag burrow as soon as it spawns and melt them.

Arah P4, no dodging,, no running, shield/focus/warhorn only.

Yet today, with 3 eles, 1 mesmer and 1 guard couln’t get it killed stacked cause “casuls” are afraid to get gud. :/

dropping nothing @ 50 is pretty insulting :/
I could use some zerk rings too. but those ettin bands >.<

Stephen McBeaven.5640:

Are you asking me how to fit more than one melee player on a boss without them overlapping? Incidentally overlapping is not stacking. Stacking is when everyone in the party intentionally stands on the same space for the duration of the fight.

I uh… um.

Okay.

No, this would be stacking (and some amazing 5 minutes drawing skills lol )

Holy kitten, that looks kittening awesome.

When five zerkers collide, they become Shiva, Goddess of Destruction.

I’m sold.

Thats why content is destroyed so fast! as five unite they become gods of destruction
MIND BLOWN!

2 days ago i got useless coat box, then onward i keep getting Etting bands Oo
Tis a curse?

Well your could try ascended armor, is the most “hard working” thing around.
Gosh i forced myself too… gulp… pvp… to get dragonite ore >.<

Warrior, only dodge damage.

- 4 on each spawn point
- 1 killing thorns
- zap as soon it spawn.
- dont zap others golem, may glitch them to explode.
- remember to hit husk once(normal damage) for champion chest.

(8k+ AP)

Why do you throw random data in your message? A month ago or so I did a AC p3 where I was the lowest AP with my 11k something. One was above 20k, another above 18k, the two others around 13k.

Worst run ever.

This.

While there are indeed now players who don’t know the dungeons, some of the worst groups I had were groups where everyone played for some time, at least judging from the AP. AP do not say anything about skill though, they simply accumulate over time.

yes, ap does not determine skill, determines time played. I also had my fair share of 11k staff guards and 9k bearbows.
So this was for the argument sake that pugs gotten better with time.

actually my last 2 weeks i have been lucky. Went for AC P1 and got quick and smooth runs with zerky (8k+ AP) people.
I guess its just pug roullete, as always, fashion goddess.

Did yesterday again.
Stacked + zerk = melted before AOE.
Boring.

I Run with my META necro and ranger just fine
“Px 80 Zerk Speed Run”.
Less qq more proactivity.

Aertherblade? yuk. even worse when working with big women.
#realNornHaveCurves.

dang, i need at least 2 of the same(chest+legs) or things get weird :/
